Men’s magazine GQ released a list of 14 Rules for Men Having Sex in the Post-Roe Era. Essentially, it’s a list of how to make sure you don’t get a girl pregnant — but if you do, to make sure she aborts. Among the suggestions are: moving to a state that is “less restrictive” on abortion just in case and “supporting your partner” by giving her a ride in the abortion business if she finds out she is pregnant with your child.
Support her having an abortion… but not having a baby
While GQ advises men to take their pregnant partners to an abortion facility, it does not advise men to even check on her after the abortion she went through alone — an experience that can be traumatic, which leading to a possible increased risk of substance abuse and suicide.
GQ advises that a man should be there for his partner if he wanted her there; however, it also says, “Many people don’t want their partner to be with them or just don’t care.” GQ gives the example of Adrienne, whose partner said he was there while she took the abortion pill, but instead went out drinking with her friends. But, don’t worry — “Adrienne had another partner at the time who knew what she was going through,” and he went with her.
Fund her abortion journey
If an abortion isn’t available somewhere, GQ suggests a man give the woman he’s impregnated to travel out of state — but the magazine doesn’t advise him to come with her. If she cannot personally fund the killing of her child, GQ advises that she seek help through pro-abortion groups that can fund the child’s death.
Consider a vasectomy
If abortion is not an option, GQ advises men to get a vasectomy. Many men follow this advice — which means they rely on legally killing their baby as birth control under the reign of Roe.
Tell people how the abortion ‘benefited’ you
GQ wants men to shout out their abortion just like pro-abortion women do. Men are generally more supportive of abortion than women. As Cassy Fiano-Chesser previously reported for Live Action News:
Men can enjoy sex without consequences, and without side effects or risks. Men do not carry the risks associated with pregnancy, childbirth, or abortion; women do. Men are not on the hook for the cost and liability of a child if they can convince a woman to have an abortion, and they are not at risk of death or permanent injury if the abortion is wrong.
Abortion benefits men greatly without worrying about any harm. There is a reason why men led the abortion movement, subverting feminism and promoting abortion among women in the 1970s.
Believe the lies
GQ told men, “There are two main types of abortion – surgical and medicated.” But GQ failed to delve deeper, saying simply, “Medicated or self-managed abortion is done with a series of two pills (one of which is discussed in the case brought to the Supreme Court). At-home medicated abortion is incredibly safe, and has been used around the world for decades.”
Much of this statement is untrue, and seriously lacking in detail. Even the links included by GQ do not lead to the truth.
First, the abortion pill regimen, also known as chemical abortions, does not include both pillsthere are two of them together drugs: mifepristone and misoprostol. There are a lot of pills involved.
Second, chemical abortions are unsafe, and have actually been found to be four times more dangerous for women than a first-trimester surgical abortion. About six percent of all women undergoing chemical abortions – based on the results of three separate studies – will need emergency care for complications that arise. In addition, women are traumatized by severe pain and seeing the body of their baby.
There is no way to know how “safe” abortions are because there are no federal requirements to report complications resulting from abortions.
Third, GQ links in explaining Planned Parenthood in different ways. Of course, America’s abortion giant fails to spend more than about 80 words describing “in-clinic abortions,” of which there are actually four types.
After glossing over chemical abortions and skipping the part where the child starves to death, Planned Parenthood says:
In-clinic abortion (also called surgical abortion) is a medical procedure. It works by using suction to empty your uterus. How long you can have an abortion depends on the laws in your state and which doctor, abortion clinic, or Planned Parenthood health center you go to. It may be more difficult to find a doctor or nurse to perform an abortion after the 12th week of pregnancy, so it is best to try to have your abortion as soon as possible.
Although the D&C procedure works in the first trimester by suctioning the baby, either by manual aspiration or by machine, what happens is that the suction tears apart the fragile embryo — which has developed a heartbeat from the third week after fertilization — in fragments. The results can be seen in the image below.

Planned Parenthood does not cover other surgical procedures, likely because of how brutal they are. During a second-trimester D&E dismemberment abortion, the child — some old enough to survive outside the womb — is severed. His arms and legs were torn from his body, and then his skull was crushed. The abortionist knows when he has crushed the skull because the brain is leaking from the vaginal canal. The D&E process can take two to three days in total, though some abortionists prefer to complete it in one day. This procedure can cause serious, life-altering harm to women.
Planned Parenthood also failed to describe a third-trimester induction procedure, in which the child was killed by lethal injection to the head or heart and suffered cardiac arrest, while the mother sat in a hotel room for days, waiting for her cervix to dilate. she may give birth to a dead baby. These women are often advised that they can give birth alone in the hotel bathroom.

Lack of access to abortion affects miscarriage
GQ did tell men that they should understand miscarriage… but what it said about miscarriage, it got it wrong. GQ said, “Lack of access to abortion pills or D&Cs can lead to serious health issues like sepsis and infection for people who have miscarriages in restrictive states.”
This is serious misreporting. As laws against murder do not restrict to use of surgical tools, while the use of surgical tools in to kill a person is prohibited, pro-life laws do not restrict the use of methods to save or protect a woman’s life — only the use of the same methods to intentionally kill.
A D&C procedure can be used to remove a stillborn child in every single state, and one of the abortion pill regimens is also used to help a woman complete a miscarriage. Misoprostol is the second drug in the abortion pill, and it works to cause contractions, while mifepristone — the drug at the center of a legal challenge — is the one that works to kill the baby, and is not commonly used in period of miscarriage as a dead baby.
Only one option
GQ mentions “childbirth” only once in the article, and it does so in a negative, misogynistic light: “Do you know what childbirth is? I mean, really? Have you ever thought about genital tearing?” Will guys use this line to their pregnant girlfriends?
The article focuses on ‘support’ women… on abortion. The other options (raising a child or putting the child up for adoption) are NOT discussed, and thus, women and children are completely dehumanized by GQ. There is no suggestion of marriage, co-parenting, or how to contact an adoption agency. GQ has no intention of teaching men to truly support their child’s mother. Instead, it teaches them to leave the woman and their baby through the trauma of abortion.
